“i apologies, though i feel it would be great to get involved in action and change in these times of transition. I must say i will not be supporting the cause, USDay of rage. Everything about your efforts and cause sounded perfect until i dug into your supporting organizations. I wish you all the best and i will be keeping track of all that is occurring, but will not be participating in any action.i hope to hear that your peaceful protests come along swell and bring awareness of the insidious actions of many people with smiling faces from all side.

Life.Love. / Happiness. Health.

to you and yours and to whom you believe in more.

with sincerity,

XXXXXX”

I want to address people’s valid concerns. What’s more, I appreciate knowing them and hope anyone following @USDayofRageFL knows that they can contact me with their concerns, at any time and in any manner. I also have a phone. I want to respond publicly to this email because there are others that have also raised concerns. I want to stop dead in its tracks any misinformation that puts in question what USDayofRageFL is and is not.Although, I personally don’t speak for the National level, I can and will speak of it.

The USDayofRage, rightly so, takes the stance thatthe minute we startdefending ourselves against the attacks being waged against us that by the way are chock full of misinformation as you will soon see, we are wasting time. So I am not defending anything, but I must speak directly to the concerns of the good people that are intimidated and vulnerable to these attacks that speak and communicate with me. I am the face of the USDayofRage in Florida and I value all with whom I have the immense pleasure to meet here. So let me begin:

“sounded perfect until i dug into your supporting organizations” -I don’t knowwhat organizations the author speaks of and he hasn’t answered my email asking him. It doesn’t matter because I want him and others to know we are not “supported” by any “organizations”…not a one. If anything, it is the USDayofRage that may or may not support organizations, coalitions, political parties, etc. We choose “not”. We support individual citizens. We seek to empower them.

There are things going on that can be subjective and prone to interpretation. But this much is not: Stated clearly, plainly and not up for subjective interpretation on the National website http://usdayofrage.org/our-principles.html: “Every US Day of Rage organizational committee on the state, city, and federal level should be entirely self-supporting, declining outside contributions from any political party, association, or candidate.US Day of Rage is not a money making operation.We are volunteers.No treasury should be kept.We do this lest problems of money, property, or prestige divert us from our primary aim, reforming our elections.Our logo and content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License, unless otherwise noted.Use it, just don't abuse it”.

“We are an idea, not a political party. We place principles and our objectives before any party or personality.Therefore, US Day of Rage will never endorse, finance, or lend our name to any candidate or party.We support a citizen’s right to so affiliate, and we understand that individuals and groups participating in the US Day of Rage may be so affiliated.”

“Individual state, city, and federal demonstrations are autonomous, except in matters affecting the whole.We do not support, for example, violations to our principle of non-violence. US Day of Rage dot com, org, etc. is here to help facilitate state and city level organization, and to organize the federal protest at the US Capitol.”

The USDayofRage has one message: One citizen. One dollar. One vote. We stand for clean elections to stop a government that is run on bribes. That is the message. Period.Notice “demonstrations are autonomous”. Look up “autonomous”. Again, notice:”We support a citizen’s right to so affiliate”.

USDayofRage is not “supported” by anyone and is not “behind” anyone or any group.Protests are are autonomous and as long as those protesting and organizing don’t compromise our principles and affect the whole, such as non violence we will spread their word. To be even clearer, USDayofRage is not supported by corporations, unions, the Tea Party, the liberal left or any political parties. We don’t even collect money. There is no treasury!

Again, the USDayofRage is an idea that we the people, regardless of party are sick and tired of corruption in our government. Whether it’s the Tea Party who has been shafted by Teocons who increased the budget over last year when they should be ending the trillions we are spending on eternal wars or liberals whose representatives continue to fund trillions for eternal wars (and I could give you a 100 more examples), we are all unhappy and realize that only through constant and sustained protest, UNITED, we will not overcome the subversion of a government of, by and for the people.

On a personal level this is exactly the kind of coalition of individuals, united, to mobilize and take back our government from corruption that I was waiting for. This how I want to put it: the United States government has been subverted, (taken over from within) by corruption. It no longer serves the people because politicians legislate based on bribes.To continue this present form of government that serves a select few that buy laws with money, they will use every resource at their disposable especially the media who they control. To preserve an oligarchy you have to confuse and divide the populace. They are on the defensive and the demonizing has begun.

Your efforts to mobilize and protest will not be wasted if we all unite and don’t allow ourselves to be divided. The USDayofRage will never become the voice of this party or that party and be corrupted by the corrupters.We put and so should you, our politics and preferences aside. We are loyal to one thing: our country and put country first, above all else,to take back our government from corrupt whores who have sold us and this Nation to the highest bidders.

I will never let this movement be labeled left or right and favor one group of people or another.Powerful people that control our government have armies of people that want you, the American people, to fail. You know and see many of them in the media and on the Internet. They assign labels and demonize anyone that dares to threaten their hold. Here’s an example: The Tea Party movement that started under Bush, now labeled “extreme right racist religious wing nuts”, (Glenn Beck’s, Sarah Palin’s, etc great work) raged against the trillions spent on wars, Ron Paul continues to do so now. The anti-war movement and organizations like Code Pink, labeled as “leftist communists” raged against the spending of trillion of dollars on wars. They are the same movements, with the same goal, the same reasons to mobilize. Yet, both have been divided into separate groups each demonizing the other. Why, pray tell, why do the masses still fall victims to this tactic of Divide and Conquer? What of the Tea Party and the anti-war movement and organizations like Code Pink? They’re voices have been distorted and their message absent in the corrupt main stream media and on the Internet.

The results: we are still spending trillions on war and Congress and corrupt media are on a mission to sell to the American people that they have give up their Social Security and Medicare to do so. They are going to cut everything else, but not those wars. Oh no. Those are sacred, because Congress is so corrupt. They serve the military industrial complex who pays them big money for their wars for profits even if it means bringing home Americans from foreign lands in body bags while the American people are divided and conquered.

Like I said, I will not allow @USDayofRage to be labeled but it will be by the people that want to keep this corrupt government in place.

You are all raging, whether you are conservative or liberal or in between. This is the place where you can all become more powerful because all of you united are a force that cannot be overcome. It’s the single thing that scares government: people united in masses on the streets. If they can’t pick us apart with their right and left bullshit, they won’t know how to deal with us. United we will take back our government, because united, we are more powerful and we all win. Whatever you choose to do to make your voice heard I am going to support you and try with everything in me to convince everyone else that we have to support each other no matter what our personal beliefs are and how we choose to fight corruption.

I care a great deal about my relationships with all of you. All I have in life is my word. I think it’s all anyone has. If you are as outraged and unhappy as I am at the fact the government is no longer ours, if you love your country and you know that you have to fight for it when it is taken from within because it operates on bribery, then you have found someone that stands with you and will never steer you in the wrong direction or allow this movement to be corrupted. The day that happens I will be the first to leave it.

REAL BREAKING NEWS

United States Day of Rage Organizing in Florida

One citizen. One dollar. One vote.

The US Day of Rage, a movement launched on March 10 of this year is taking off with the anger and frustration of all Americans, everywhere, disgusted over the way our government is not working for the good of the American people and instead is mired in corruption, serving special interests at their expense. The movement is one ofordinary citizens united, regardles of political party, that is non-violent and puts principles before parties (they are not affiliated with any political organization,takes no corporate money) and is volunteer only. They encourage individual state, city, and federal demonstrations to be autonomous, except in matters affecting the whole.

States have begun organizing and are in different stages. Currently, Kansas, Tennessee, Idaho (September 16 Day of Rage), Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Seattle, Portland and Oregon are officially planning protests. People all over the United States are joining the rest of the world in protest against government corruption that is responsible for the debt and deficits, joblessness and wealth inequality. For instance, autonomously, on September 17 the #occupywallstreet protest is scheduled to create an encampment protest at what is seen by many to be the epicentre of the problem. The official Twitter account is announcing all of the upcoming events (#Sept17 #OccupyWallStreet) and some sites are encouraging occupation of financial districts around the world on the same day. Florida is beginning to organize too.Jeanette Borges who is currently organizing and recruiting in Florida puts it this way: “It is painfully clear that given current and past events in these United States of America and the drama in Washington, the American people are faced with a choice that they can no longer kick down the road or ignore: politicians regardless of party, with very few exceptions, are stunningly, blatantly corrupt. When a country is ruled by bribery, it is not a government of, by and for the people. In essence your government is not yours anymore. The United States, not by paranoid conspiracy theory, but by definition, is not a democracy. It is the Land of Kings, the Land of the Highest bidders. Without a shot fired, no foreign invasion and no terrorist, the United States has been taken from within by the military industrial complex, oil and gas companies, Wall Street, health insurance companies, pharma and well you get the idea. Corporate media is just as corrupt. Instead of a working Fourth Estate, it colludes with a government that serves the highest bidders. Sadly, we the people are on our own. Without non-violent revolution these oligarchs will continue to bring down this country with the economy and trillions spent on eternal wars. There are those that say they love their country and would fight for it. It’s time to fight for your country, in your country. That is the choice and Floridians will rise to that call. All over the world, people are rising up against corrupt governments and the oligarchs they serve that have boots to their necks with corrupt laws. If this movement is bipartisan, uniting all people, regardless of politics, against corruption in a treasonous Congress and State legislatures that are run on bribery to serve special interests and oligarchs then we choose and we hope you choose too, A UNITED STATES DAY OF RAGE IN FLORIDA. Surely we can unite against the cancer that affects us all: corruption! Let’s grow this movement in Florida fast and furious. Can’t do that without you!”

Spread the News. A US Day of Rage is Coming The rallying place for the US Day of Rage in Florida is on Twitter:@USDayofRageFL

Once you follow us on Twitter please introduce yourself. Tell us where you are from in Florida,what you RAGE about and what you can do in your city. Email @USDayofRageFL: usdorfl@gmail.com

Saturday, August 6, 2011

I’ve been asked allot of questions lately by people that “follow” or “like” or are friends of us on Facebook and are following us on Twitter @USDayofRageFl and also by those that are filling out the contact form on the National website and the information is forwarded to @USDayofRageFL.

(Please click on the hyperlinks so you can do your homework and get all the answers you need. If you are not familiar with the phrase “Day of Rage” please Google it.)

“On March 10, we established the Twitter profile @USDayofRage and the Twitter hash tag #USDOR as a common rallying point for Americans (and supporters worldwide).

Americans are outraged because they realize that there is something terribly wrong with the way our nation is governed, and the way in which our public discourse is conducted.

The nation's institutions, meant to underpin the principles of our democratic republic, do not function effectively in the 21st century.

Their failure leaves us prey to rampant corruption, unprincipled and abusive government action, and a demoralized populace.

We at US Day of Rage place democratic principles before any particular personality or party, even our own.

Talking point politics and double speak only compound our nation's problem. They corrode our primary column, the intelligence and genuine good will of the American people.

We are currently organizing a national non-violent protest to reclaim democracy on an official US Day of Rage.

We will announce the date when our Twitter profile reaches 50,000 followers.

We have established an official hash tag on Twitter #USDOR, where we call on Americans and our supporters worldwide to voice their grievances.”

The principles are these:

1.Non Violence -US Day of Rage is non violent. Violence is behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something. Please see resources for information about how to organize and practice non-violent resistance and civil disobedience.

2. Principles before Party -We place principles and our objectives before party. US Day of Rage will never endorse, finance, or lend our name to any candidate or party.We support a citizen’s right to so affiliate, and we understand that individuals and groups participating in the US Day of Rage may be so affiliated.

3. Volunteer - Every US Day of Rage organizational committee on the state, city, and federal level should be entirely self-supporting, declining outside contributions from any political party, association, or candidate.US Day of Rage is not a money making operation.We are volunteers.No treasury should be kept.We do this lest problems of money, property, or prestige divert us from our primary aim, reforming our elections.Our logo and content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License, unless otherwise noted.Use it, just don't abuse it.

4. Autonomous Except in Matters Affecting the Whole -Individual state, city, and federal demonstrations are autonomous, except in matters affecting the whole. We do not support, for example, violations to our principle of non-violence. US Day of Rage dot com, org, etc. is here to help facilitate state and city level organization, and to organize the federal protest at the US Capitol.

There are other sources of information to keep you updated on all the different efforts all over the Nation and boy, is there movement everywhere. The beauty is that we are not affiliated with anyone or anything. So the powers that be will not even know how to respond, although they will try.

You know, the vast majority of the masses in these UnitedState are divided and polarized by corporate media and corrupt politicians who feed on their political loyalties. It is hard to break bad habits. The absolute truth is this: blaming the other party and people in another party for the problems we all face as a Nation is a tool used by corrupt politicians and governments. They serve whoever has enough money to buy laws that are pillaging all of us, yet keep the masses fighting each other, which impedes uniting to fight our unbelievably corrupt government that is serving a ruling class and literally takes (steals) from us to give to them.

While the masses are doing that their government has been taken from them. If one loves one’s country and the concept of a government of, by and for the people, one would think the American people who pay for eternal wars and bring home fellow Americans in body bags supposedly fighting for “freedom” would have the courage, motivation and civic duty to take back their government right here on their own soil. The UnitedState without one shot fired, no foreign armies and no terrorist has been taken from the people from within. No politician and no political party is going to give it back. Only the people can get it back.

I rarely encounter anyone that needs convincing. It’s as if this is what we have all been waiting for because its not the same old Republican vs. Democrat argument and because of that how can we be defeated? LOL. But If you are still undecided then let me say this: with or without you there will be a @USDayofRage in Florida and throughout this Nation, that will get the attention of the powers that be, because no politician or party will hijack it and no corporation will buy it. It will get their attention because it is ours, the people’s.

The choice is yours but the rest of us need and are counting on you because without you we are weaker and have less power. Make no mistake, you, as one of we the people, need us too. Without us, the people that are rising up, for the good of the whole, you are and always will be insignificant and a victim of a corrupt government. Without the rest of us, you have no power and our power in turn comes from you.

I don’t know what else to say to get you involved. Frankly, I don’t think anyone shuold have to be convinced. Taking our country back from corporate oligarchs that are picking the meat off our bones through a corrupt Congress, to me needs no explaining. You are either going to fight to defend and get back your government of, by and for the people or you are not.

Simply put in in Florida as we begin organizing a location and date for our state, the first thing we need to do is grow@USDayofRageFL on Twitter.My goal is to get to 10,000 from the whole State in each city and county because we are so spread out.

So we invite individuals, subject matter experts, and civic associations to help us in the following way:

1. Follow and support USDayofRageFL on Twitter.

2. Follow and support USDayofRageFl on Facebook

2. Contribute to the conversation on #USDOR on Twitter

3. Help us organize the US Day of Rage Protest

So this is what each of us needs to do for now:

*Each one that is following just has to recruit others to our rallying place which is @USDayofRageFl on Twitter. That is where we are meeting. We can’t organize anything if we don’t come togethere somewhere first. The Internet is a powerful tool to grow and recruit. Each of you has gone to school, works somewhere and lives and interacts everyday. Reach out to the networks that you know.

*If you are liberal then reach out to those organizations and the people you know in them in Florida. If you are Republican and especially a Tea Party advocate do the same. While the Tea Party masses are being villified, make no mistake, there are millions of them that feel betrayed by the Teocons in Congress that have continued the Neocon agendas and have increased the defense budget over last year’s. There are millions of liberals that feel betrayed by Obama for his corrupt Neocon agenda. The point is that no one is happy with government because it is corrupt and anyone unhappy with government corruption will have their voice finally on @USDayofRageFL. We have double trouble in Florida with a blatanly corrupt State legislature and Governor. We are all disgusted and that is our common ground. We will not let corporate media or any politician distract us with their bullshit party talk to take our eye off the prize: holding our government accountable for what they have done to us and our country because they run our government on bribery. We refuse to be divided anymore and that will completely confuse these arrogant, corrupt politicians and the pimps they serve. That is why @USDayofRage is so different and will succeed, because it is for all of us and doesn’t that just feel good?

*Retweet and find hashtags pertinent to Florida. so that your Tweets reach others. Just promote, promote, promote and recruit to our meeting place that is @USDayofRageFl on Twitter. BTW anyone that follows @USDayofRage we will follow so you can DM us.

*Beyone the Internet you can print out the fliers or email me and I will print them out and mail them free of charge. If anyone else can do the same then do so.

*All those that are following now and in the future announce yourself! Tweet who you are and where you are. Simply tweet to say hey I’m here. Tweet about your efforts and what you are doing. Tell us each time you recruit someone and introduce them.Start talking to each other at #usdorfl

*Email usdorfl AT gmail.com to let us know who and where you are and what you are doing or what do you need. Tell us of events or ideas that you have to spread the news.

In sum, spread the news and let’s start talking.

I want to welcome you and thank you for your interest in becoming part of a US Day of Rage.

It is painfully clear that given current and past events in these United States of America and the drama in Washington, the American people are faced with a choice that they can no longer kick down the road or ignore: whether to remain divided, clinging still, to the belief that politicians in the other political party are going to govern ethically and responsibly for the well being of the people or do we choose to accept that politicians regardless of party, with very few exceptions, are stunningly, blatantly corrupt? Anyone with half a brain knows the answer.

There is a point when you have to succumb and admit to yourself that it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who you vote for because when they get elected they serve lobbyists. They serve the highest bidders. You shrug your shoulders in acceptance. You accept that it's called campaign finance and that is how elections work. Congress made it all legal.

By simply blaming the other party we release ourselves from our duty to fight the noble and necessary fight that only we the people can fight to take back our government from a select few, oligarchs that have bought our government. I don't want to fight on this side or that. In the alternate, if it is the fight of our lives as a people united and committed to preserve our freedoms, our way of life and our self determination to take back our government from corrupt politicians that no longer serve we the people, then that is the choice before me, before us all.

It is a grave choice. Not because I am worried about me, but because I worry with good reason that my power as a free citizen to demand from my government becomes nothing if I am alone. The power I have, that power that each of us has, lies in numbers. Without you I am not strong and without me, neither are you. We depend on each other and that's why unity is so important.

The United States, not by paranoid conspiracy theory, but by definition, is not a democracy. It is the Land of Kings, the Land of the Highest bidders. There are those that say they love their country and would fight for it. They accept fighting or paying for eternal wars on foreign lands because “they are fighting for freedom and our country”. What kind of love for country is it that some can’t, some won’t, some choose to look to the other party, instead of fighting for your country, INyour country?What kind of love is it that a person needs convincing?

I choose not to be that person. I don’t need to be convinced. If someone takes your country you take it back. So I choose. I choose my country above party, above Fox, MSNBC and all the other propaganda, oligarch media and above the utter distraction of clinging to the other party.

If this movement is bipartisan against corruption and a treasonous Congress and State legislatures that serve oligarchs then I choose and I am hoping you choose too, A UNITED STATES DAY OF RAGE.

AND I am hoping to grow this call to action fast and furious here in Florida.

Can’t do that without you!

You can follow on Twitter here: @usdayofrageFL #usdorfl

So here what’s happening in Florida right now:

Not from Florida? Find your State! The US Day of Rage webpage from which we all take our inspiration is here: http://www.usdayofrage.org/contact.html . Twitter handle is: @USDayofRageand become part of the conversation at hash tag #USDOR . US Day of Rage is of course on Facebook too

US Day of Rage is supporting “Occupy Wall Street” on September 17. Their website is here: https://occupywallst.org/ Email: info@occupywallst.org | telephone: +1 (516) 708-4777

I am going to need someone to help me with the Facebook page. Simply put, I’m not all that familiar with it. Don’t laugh! I really don't understand who I am talking to on that thing. So if there are any serious takers let me know.

For all of you in Florida please email me with your thoughts, location and of course, suggestions.usdorfl AT gmail.com

I am working to set up fliers. So if someone out there is creative and wants to design promotional material please do so. I suggest though that they look just as good in black and white because those copiers are more readily available to people. We can if we choose to incorporate what we have on http://www.usdayofrage.org/ or simply make our own.

I am not all that when it comes to Facebook and Twitter but I'm working on it. LOL So please email me to let me know about yourself and that you are on board. I will give my phone number to anyone that wants to talk about this like in the olden days.... LOL

So let's get busy and if you are in Florida please email me with your thoughts, location and of course, suggestions.usdorfl AT gmail.com. Oh, I am in Casselberry which is in the Orlando area. I work for doctors during the day and during the night? I rage. Come rage with us in Florida!
